Programme Overview

Systems biology comprises a lot of disciplines. In this field, biology joins forces with disciplines such as bioinformatics, mathematics and physics. The common target is to understand the functionality of cells, organs and even complete organisms. This broadly based Master's programme gives access to research projects in biotechnology, medicine, agriculture, pharmacy and astrobiology, among many others. With a Master's degree in "Genome Based Systems Biology", you can work on biotechnological projects, study diseases or investigate alternative forms of energy. You will be well prepared for a career in science or in economics. With up to 18 students per academic year, this research oriented interdisciplinary Master's course enables intensive supervision and sufficient time to learn the use of complex instruments, evaluate and analyse complex data and build models.
